BTW, watching Massiel's stage movements you wouldn't guess she went on to become a successful actress (and quite embarassed for her entry for many later years, both due to the entry itself and the circumstances that brought her on stage).

I thought the reason Eurovision was set up was to showcase pleasant, uplifting music to represent Europe's rise from the war's destruction. Any such suggestion that
La La La is nonsensical is just play hooey!
Massiel became an actress? Wow. Deedn't know that. What circumstances brought her to stage? At least that would embarrass her? I thought the regular Spanish contestant (name escapes me) quit because he couldn't sing in
Catalan?
